The Department of Physics at Queens College welcomes students to a rigorous academic and research environment. We offer a range of opportunities for learning physics and a B.A.<\/a>, B.Sc.<\/a>, and M.A.<\/a> in physics and a B.A. in Applied Physics<\/a>. The Pre-engineering degree program<\/a> allows students to automatically transfer to Columbia University after completing the physics major requirements with a 3.3 GPA. The Professional Masters in Photonics<\/a> degree provides advanced technical training to students interested in careers in the rapidly developing photonics industry.<\/p>\n The department faculty is composed of renowned research-active<\/a> physicists<\/a> representing the City University of New York’s cluster expertise in photonics research. We maintain the department\u2019s strong physics tradition by advancing the frontiers of knowledge of random, nano- and micro- structures and films, metamaterials, and biophysics. Many of our alumni<\/a> have gone on to become dedicated faculty and researchers at other institutions.<\/p>\n
